She's looking between Montreal or Toronto, but it's not difficult to get on a train from Toronto to Vancouver if you want a leisurely trip (at least that's what my brother tells me).

You could wait a couple years and go there for the Olympics You really did do a great job capturing the different totems and the research shows IMO.

There is some inherently cool thing about Canada, true. But Britain has good TV (most of prime time and just about everything for kiddies is British judging by the accents and ideas). And france has good food and wine. Canada has... well, Canada had the Red Green Show!!! . And good beer, curling, and mooses.

My first and only submission. This was tough to think about even though I'd been to Canada just a few days before this theme was announced. Other than the occasional "eh" There wasn't much different about it. Sure there's a stray moose now and then, but they don't bother you as long as you buy them drinks... Pretty sure that was Canada.

Ha ha ha, this is great. I know a lot of people who have done that to save their necks. It can get pretty hectic in the world if people know you're American. This could also be useful once they make it mandatory for you to have a passport to go into Canada.

Especially seeing it's got text there as well. It's very busy and very boxy. And I would go one further to say that the bottle is a lost cause if you want it printed here, because the color is so close to the background it just won't show up.

Guys thanks for the critique, I don't mean to sound snobish here so sorry if I do. What I did was took the tree from my other line drawing and made the colors into red and white, admittedly I wish I had just done it with a red tree and white middle or vice-versa, not both. The maple syrup thing was just an idea that I liked, and you are right in the fact that The shirt is:
Cluttered
The shadow doesn't really make sense
And the tree is a little boxy, if you look at my entry in the line drawing derby (Stairway to...) then you can see it there as well, this happened because the tree goes right to the edge of the 16 by 20 and I only noticed when I was done what had happened
All this said, The reason This isn't looking that great is because I did this in only an hour and then left for vacation, I just wanted to get something quick down and practice modding old versions

Your critique tho is helpful and if I get time I will resub this keeping in mind the things you have said. Chances of winning will be slim to none but it will be fun so thank you!

Fail? I'm pressing the shirt myself because of the initial response on Woot! over the past couple of days. These will sell great independently. Do-it-yourself for the win. Having been in bands, I already have a hook up at screen shops, and the initial investment comes down to $2 a shirt screened wholesale. That's $8 profit sold at $10 + shipping. Yeah, I totally failed.

Sigh I think you all are right you guys.

Do real Canadians wear shirts with Canadian flags on them?

I don't know, but many Americans where clothing with some type of American flag, including patches; I don't think that's odd. i never think twice about it
